adeoladrg: pls don't quote eye surgery its as common as mosquitoes in Nigeria, as for organ transplant i don't believe you understand the logistics that follow it( there is a reason that it is not common here in Nigeria) so leave it at that. recently delsuth performed their first kidney transplant and patient/donor are still alive. 2 Likes |

adeoladrg: medical post graduate colleges award fellowships not consultancy status, you can take the title on appointment by the govt or setting up of your own private practice. this does not however stop medical officers from running their own clinics as am sure it doesn't stop pharmacist from owning pharmacies with or without a fellowship. |

GentleMimi: Sai! Patient's perspective indeed.very sound and objective write up .Doctors own the patient and nobody want to take your patient away from you we only want to reach the zenith of our respective fields it doesnt stop any doctor from performing his or her duties at all . A house officer pay is d same thing with a PMLS (atleast u must ve worked for 10 years to get to that salary level o! ) while interns get N112 ,546 in d eastern state where i reside so its really poor .Delivering quality healthcare to patients is a focal point in all medical professions and lets not forget anybody can be a patient nobody is excluded not even the doctors who own the patient so i dont how hindering the progress and welfare of other medical professionals will improve the quality of healthcare in this our nation. 2 Likes |

Samgreguc: The first definition defines consultant anything including consultant pharmacist ,nurses The second one focused on hospital settings and rightly define it as medical doctor of highest rank This is an updated dictionary , and know that the term consultant pharmacist has been on for a while, its not new, but its not used for hospital based pharmacist anywhere, its for institutition based pharmacist, who served elderly home,industries etc. And this rightly fit in to the first definition |

GentleMimi:my brother I don't like arguing with someone who DELIBERATELY decides to MISS MY POINT... look as a doctor, I don't rely on the lab work for my diagnoses. I already have one before I send for CONFIRMATORY lab work. if I am in a rural area with out a lab or radiological center,I can go ahead and treat my patients based on clinical findings. if you can't understand this then I can't help you.i dont have the time to draw pictures for you.no need going round and round in circles. 5 Likes |

The NMA strike will enter its second phase: Private Hospitals will join in.

adeoladrg: Even in those places that have all-inclusive systems, they also make mistakes. You guys always point to the US. Was it not in the US that our own dear Prof Dora Akunyili was misdiagnosed? A misdiagnosis that led to her death eventually. People should call a spade by its name. Everytime a patient dies, the doctor is blamed. People forget that there are many many factors that come into play in a patient's death. I have seen where doctors practically beg patients to take their drugs and patients refuse; resorting to whatever it is that they want to do. Then months or years later, they return to the doctor and expect d doctor to perform a miracle. I have seen where doctors advise patients on what to avoid and eschew. But they totally ignore such advice and when d consequences set in, doctors are expected to do miracles. I have witnessed where a woman was on admission in a teaching hospital and she was on medications. And hidden under her bed was a bottle of herbal medications which she takes regularly at the expense of d drugs prescribed by the doctor. Patients will present at consulting rooms with symptoms they have been noticing for years and have absolutely done nothing about. You will ask a patient when he first started noticing a symptom and he will tell u 6 months, or 1 year or 3 years. And u will ask d person what he has been doing about it and he will tell u that he has been managing. Then when d illness has become very serious and there is little d doctor can do, d doctor is expected to perform a miracle and bring a dead man back to life. Alas, the average Nigerian never visits a hospital until it is obvious to him that he can no longer "manage" his illness. At that point, d doctor is looked up to to perform a miracle. Stop blaming doctors for patients' deaths. There are so many factors that determine if a patient will die. Doctors' mistake is just a small fraction of it. Mistake in nursing care is also part of it. Because I know of a particular ward in a certain popular teaching hospital in the southeast where the matrons and d nurses are lackadaisical about their jobs. Infact, when patients are "mistakenly" admitted into that ward, it takes d grace of God and d diligence of d doctor (in practically forcing these nurses to do their job) to keep this patient alive. People die everyday in dat particular ward because of d negligence of d nurses. Mistakes in lab reports also contribute. I know of a certain teaching hospital in the south east where d lab scientists have a routine for reporting lab results. If they decide that in a particular week, they will report neutrophilia for all CBC tests, u will see dat all d lab tests coming out of d lab dat week will be neutrophilia. If they decide it will be eosinophilia, all the lab results coming out of d lab dat week will be eosinophilia.. So stop blaming d doctor unnecessarily for patients' death because 40% of the time patients cause their death by non-adherence to sound medical advice 3 Likes |

Truly speaking, u are an educated man, but an educated illiterate. Olofo! sakaguchi: The issue of a consultant has being overflogged isn't it? What will a consultant nurse do? What the hell is a consultant pharmacist? The doctors who are consultants specialise in a particular field of medicine and specialize holistically in it. Consultant urologist, consultant cardiologist, consultant nephrologist is more like it. |

Morotov1: Intrahepatic Cholestasis of pregnancy presents with icterus and intense pruritus. So there is need for the bilirubin level both conjugated and unconjugated, serum alanine and aspartate , and all the works....... oga the person in my illustration is male. secondly it presents mainly with pruritis.jaundice is uncommon. of course there is a need for all those tests you mentioned. but my point is that if a pregnant lady presents to me with intense itching and NO jaundice after 25wks,then ICP is my likely diagnosis which is made first ,THEN I SEND HER FOR LABWORK TO CONFIRM MY DIAGNOSIS. so even before lab work,I have a working diagnosis. 3 Likes |

@ phantom,my sister.. Is your explanation so bogus that even you cannot make yourself understood? You sound like a quack in the process of trying to come across as an ''independent'' worker. Oh you do obtain diagnosis by physical examination only? Interesting. Or u are subjected to mild cases only,while the top guns handle more challanging cases. What the hell has this discussion got to do with rural hspt? We are talking of an average hospital,dude. Even if u find urself in a rural area,certain cases will require u to refer ur patient to the city for proper investigations. Rural hospitals have limits,so stop giving me lousy and lame examples. You are the one running round in circles in an attempt to seem effective. Prior to sending ur patient out for investigations,what you have made is simply a guess work. If u get called up tomorrow,can u defend your guess work boldly? It is peeps like u that are giving ur fellow doctors a bad name. A doc thinks he he can diagnose based on symptoms and interrogation only. Lol. The Ebola virus has quite similar symptoms to acute malaria. I guess u'll give ur patient antimalaria to deal with such a case,right? Loool! Quackery village dokinto. 3 Likes |

malbruno: my dear, u have Said it all, just an addition d consultants are meant to specialize in a particular area of study like consultant gyenocologist, consultant urologist etc. Their role differ, so it will be for Consultant chem pathologist, consultant haematologist consultant pharmacist when they have got the requisit qualification. How is it affecting other consultants who shld face their own specialty. what kind egocentric set of human beingsCHEMICAL PATHOLOGISTS and HAEMATOLOGISTS are MEDICAL DOCTORS not LAB SCIENTISTS |
Re: Nma Strike: The Patients's Perspective by Nobody: 11:26pm On Jul 15, 2014 |
@Op you clearly are one of US. Good write up, conqour with most of your points but I differ as follows; NON DOCTOR CONSULTANT NMA should not be against this, allow them to become CONSULTANTS but each one of them MUST have JOB DESCRICTION so that a NURSE CONSULTANT can not delay or stop a medical doctor's line of management even if he is a HOUSE OFFICER, she can only advice where necessary. Same should apply to other professionals. NMA should ensure that their regulatory bodies come up with criteria that is internationally acceptable before such appointments can be effected, advanced academic qualifications and new skills rather than years of service should be the yard stick. 2 Likes |
